PUMP-HANDLE. i

SPECIFICATION forming par/t of Letters PatntNo. 299,748, dated June 3,1884.

Application filed November 21, 1883.

To @ZZ whom t may concern:

Be it known that I, JAMESIALEXANDER CRAIG, of the city and county ofPhiladelphia, and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and usefulImprovement in Pump-Handles, of which the following is a full, clear,and eXact description.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part ofthis specification, and which is a side elevation of 'my improvement. p

Thepbject of this invention is to enable water to be raised byhand-power from very deep wells by means of ordinary pumps.

The invention consists in the-construction and arrangement of parts, aswill be hereinafter fully described and claimed. l y

A represents the stock of an ordinary pump. To the upper end of thepump-stock A is attached, or upon it is formed, a bracket or arm, B, towhich is pivoted theA handle C. To the forward end of the handle G ispivoted the upper end of the piston-rod D. The pumphandle C projects, oris bent outward, and to its outer end is pivoted the end of aconnecting-rod, E, the other end of which is pivoted to the lever F. Theinner end of the lever F (No model.)

' is pivoted to a band, G, or other support attached to the pump-stockA.

.In the modification shown in dotted lines the inner end of the lever Fis pivoted to an upward extension of the bracket or arm B, and theconnecting -rod E and lever F are placed above the handle C. rIhe outerend of the lever F projects into such a position that it can be readilyreached and operated.

With this improvement such an advantage of leverage is obtained thatwater can be raised from wells so deep that it could not be raised withordinary pumps.

Having thus described my invention,I claim as new and desire to secureby Letters Patent- Ihe pump-stock A, provided at its upper end with abracket, B, and at or near its center with a band, G, in combinationwith the pump-handle G, pivoted to'said bracket and to the piston-rod D,a lever F, pivoted at the band G, and a connecting-rod, E, pivoted tothe outer end of the pump-handle and tothe center of the lever F,substantially as set forth.
